Whoa, you gotta think the Pac 12 is dead now, Oregon will have to try to go with them, and Washington I would assume
USC and UCLA are tired of Oregon recruiting so well in Southern Cal. LOL. This is about leverage and it's about money there is already some chatter that the Big-10 prefers USC and Oregon rather than USC and UCLA. Oregon and Washington might just become temporary friends now. The Big-10 traditionally has only added AAU universities and there are only 4 AAU universities in the Pac-12: USC, UCLA, Oregon, Wahington
I'm not sure how credible this is...may very well be fake news, especially the stuff about a near decision:
That's the end of the Pacific Conference if that is the case....so soon after they hired a commissioner who had a clue.
I have zero faith in humanity nor in American greed. We live in an oligarchy, no one gives a fuck about poor people unless they represent themselves as some "protected BULLSHIT identity", but EVERYTHING is for sale to the highest bigger.
Fox offered USC boatloads to switch conferences so they'd have more marketable matchups. UCLA was included so the Pac 12 just lost 2nd largest media market in the country. While college basketball generates enough to pay their freight, college football pays for all the other sports. This changes everything for the remaining 10 schools. STOMP
Read rumblings that the new superconference Big 10 might land Notre Dame and a plus one next, & UO is rumored to be that one. STOMP
